equally as anti raged >> (calling names). >> commissioners and audience at large thank you for let me eliciting me speak. i have two issues before me were one is that we talked about apps and app companies there's companies opening up on a monthly basis par there's a taxi cab company by law i don't know what the real rules are you haven't looked into that. if you see a claim you control the taxi business you look at this company their telling us

they're using limousines and taxis and other vehicles for this business. every year you've raised our fees and i believe you want to suck 25 million a year out of the taxi business. we don't have a dental plan or pension or anything. i don't know when you're going to start implementing it but we need a pension and a medical plan and a minimum wage to at least match what muni drivers are making. maybe taxi drivers don't deserve is a get paid a better wage.

we're part of the city and county of san francisco we should have the same wage as the minnesota drivers. thank you. >> (calling names). >> good afternoon berry. i first want to say that the t m y vehicles are going to be a dinosaur. so i think you'd better look at the fuel tanks because it's

tough to fill up. i went to a night club which has a new sound system i was about ready to go home and some guy in a site approached me and said where are you going. i don't appreciate it getting solicited and there were a lot of black town street it was hard to get through that. as speaking many had a private citizen nike think it behoves you to get the inspectaculars out that. you're not enforcing this and the cabdrivers were having to line up behind them.

i wanted to say that it doesn't look good that or i would ask you to support chris when she goes before those people. their bought and sold. you see they shut her off and i want you to pass a resolution to pass what she has to go through >> (calling names). >> good afternoon directors. march 19th meeting there were 3 hundred people here. told the people they couldn't take on electronic equipment. i would like to inform all the

directors that 3 hundred people came here to say we don't want electronic radios. after this we'll think sending i a letter inviting you to court. as apps from hoover there will be more apps coming it's a net of the time. people wants not the way the taxis is doing and mta is about a year away and not suitable to this attrition. i'm looking at the people who receive the letters but they don't come to you and bye it.

a number of rules of is expected to go further down with regard to buying madalinas. and let the director go. this was created by her. she is the biggest failure at such a high amount your paying. please liter go. thank you >> next speaker please and (calling names). >> good afternoon. i'm bill i'm a taxi driver for twre or 24 years. i'd like to address this doctor

i don't know his last name but i spoke to him last week and he's never flilgd a taxi cab. now how can a man write up a report and come up with all this and never ride in a taxi cab. we paid him $200,000 to do this report. i drive downtown for the first couple of you hours it's true i'm empty for half an hour. they scream not enough cabs because they won't wait two or three minutes for a taxi. you know, adding those short term madalinas was tried before and it didn't work.

you gave those guys a top number on their whatever it's called the card we got the taxi cab card and what happened - i'm talking. anyway, the number on the card we have and now they have got full-time taxis because the cab companies won't put out the shiners costs so they've become full-time taxis. and so far as the taxis i'm high on the madalinas list and i'm getting one and i'm grateful to the board for bringing the price down. i'm very, very happy to be

paying less money and thank you. >> (calling names). >> san francisco taxi driver. two public safety things i want to get into and one thing out of left field. the public safety is first caltrans should be on the other side of the street 90 of the riding fairs are on the other side of the street. you have giant street you should go down there it's 0 total chaos. so if we move the cab signs on the other side of the street and

stop the cabs from poovp from the other side of the street. and all you drivers inside to go to this website car stash.com. c ar s ta c h should go for if you're a list driver or whatever you can buy a pink mustache manufactureer. i'm going to buy one today, i'm going to write like scabs or go away and on my cab just bear in mind that maybe there is a time for the mta irrespective to step in and do what the airport did this is a public safety.

and lastly hoover got this money the $70 million i think that's probably more than that. and the c p u has to hear this testimony and many of that money is put in there and - >> next speaker please and. >> thank the author of the - i want to thank the security guard who runs off the limousine and they're very effective. one of my colleagues and his passenger managed to steal a

pink minus tush and he got in trouble with the company. but as ben pointed out two people are just flagging those cars and hoping in so anybody can get one of those pink mustaches a murderer or. there was one car paint as a gray primer. the cars are getting older and older. you think it's little kids but i take it young women who are hoping in those cars. and sidecars and lifts the attorneys say there was nothing by spin and side talk and they

haven't protruded any documents. so if somebody is claiming i'm lying they need to come forward with their documents. and this lady came to the meeting with any questions and she left with so many more questions. and ride sharing you thought you were going to certain locations but really who goes to work at 2:00 a.m. in the modernizing in hookers >> (calling names). >> if you could have the overhead i want to show you may have seen that but this is the last issue of the united tax

news letter with the picture of the mayor on the cover. i think he needs to be called out on this. because the mayor of this city as turned his back on - the city's own taxi industry and this regulatory agency by endorsing the operations of companies that are operating in the city unlawfully, unregulated, unlicensed. and for the mayor to do that i mean it seems disgrace full to me. those companies are providing uncontrolled competition. their numbers are growing day by day and the direction that is

solution is taking of putting out more taxis to meet more of their vehicles to take back taxi share from us. i don't think that's going to work. there's a very influential article that goes back a few decades called the tragedy of the common sense where, you know, the farmers use a common area to grace their cattle and, you know, farmers this farmer puts another cow an and another farmer puts a cow on it and pretty soon that's their individual benefit to do it but the cows are staffing. we in this situation are the cows senator something has to be done >> (calling names).

>> at the april 6th accounting vote of this task force the vote was to find a violation of the speaking times 5 to 4, however, one member of the task force does not show so it failed for the affirm active vote of the

members of the sunshine task force. i'm moving for reconsideration and we'll keep you posted. the second raison i rise to he'd i is to get a formal answer on behavior of good government why didn't you go to get the report inside the agency. you had to spend how much money did you spend on the doctors report? and a thank you. >> (calling one more name). >> i'm 25 years of driving a cab.

doesn't mean anything. i brought to our attention the charging of 5 percent even though our rule says they can only charge 3 percent. this is the law of the land of the united states of america you can't charge minimum in dollars and i can go to the credit card.com and you can fill that out for yourself. i suggest to the drivers to put a sign of credit card accepted which dollar minimum and you'll be all right. and the other things i want to talk about we talk about in the town meeting if you're going to allow the cab companies to

so-called dispatch to the center app the problem is still going to be there. what you need to do is when people called red or yellow or other other companies they can see the four block radius you can see them. you can see in if the yellow cabs are available for them fine they can get the cab right now right away. then they can make their choices. and the second thing or the third thing there is no u turn for the taxi. there's a difficult situation over there on sutter street

>> moniker to address that? >> i'd like to a take into account the credit cards charging 5 percent. also the california trains thing is right i've been down there are i don't know what kind of authority you'd have but the members can take a look at 0 those things. okay. the director is not going to be giving a report >> last item on the agenda seeing none. >> very quickly. i'm going to a higher authority. >> director reiskin i would appreciate a report on the muni

delays. i know that some of them were caused by the wind and interesting circumstances but it certainly seems to me that the delays before the van system where the trains are coming in there's been significant details p delays. i don't know if it's something to be with the switch or something else. i asked a year and a half agree as far as i, tell the sander hose is for more a problem but i'd like to know and i know that supervisor weaning would like to

know >> anyone else on new or unfinished business? >> we're going to talk about the california train corner that's my neighborhood. that would be a awesome to switch that over. in terms of the the office of california train station 3 lanes have a green turn and the pedestrians have a signal to walk it's scarey to cross that intersection. so if you're looking into anyway that's - and a fourth and town send. >> anyone else? our all scared

aren't you. thank you all. and a need a motion to adjourn? >> all in favor say i. we're adjourned. ?oo hi, i'm holly lee. i love cooking and you are watching quick bites. san francisco is a foodie

>> in delicious ways. >> delicious ways. >> this is where the magic goes down and we're going to be getting to the truth behind cookies and cream. >> this is what is behind cookies and cream. >> where were you when the idea came to your mind. >> i was in my apartment eating ice cream, cookies and cream ice cream. how much fun, cookies and cream cookies. their cookies and cream is not even -- it took a lot of time, a lot of fun.

>> a lot of butter. >> a lot, a lot, a lot. but it was one of those things. all right, now behold. you know what that is? >> what is that? >> cookies and cream. >> oh, they are beautiful. >> yes, so we got to get --. >> all right, all right. we treat the cookies like wine tasting. i don't ever want anybody to bite into a cookie and not get what they want to get. we're training staff because they can look at the cookie and tell if it's wrong. >> oh, here we go. >> you smell it and then you taste it, clean the plat palate with the milk.

>> i could be a professional painter because i know how to do this. >> i can tell that it's a really nice shell, that nice crunch. >> but inside. >> oh, my god. so you are going to -- cheat a little bit. i had to give you a heads up on that. >> what's happening tomorrow? these cookies, there's a lot of love in these cookies. i don't know how else to say it. it really just makes me so happy. man, you bake a mean cookie, anthony. >> i know. people really know if they are getting something made with love. >> aww >> you know, you can't fool people. they know if you are taking shortcuts here and there. they can eat something and tell the care that went

into it. they get what they expect. >> uh-huh. >> system development and things like that. >> sounds so technical. >> i'm an engineer. >> that's right, that's right. cookies are so good, drove all other thoughts out of my head. thank you for taking time out it talk to us about what you do and the love with which you do it. we appreciate your time here on quick bites. i hope you've enjoyed our delicious tale of defendant 93 and dessert. as for me, my search is over. those reviews did not lie. in fact, i'm thinking of one of my very own.
